The novel The Doctors Wife by Elizabeth Brundage
is a very interesting first novel. The book grabbed my interest
from the first page of the Prologue and kept my interest to the
last page. I became very emotionally involved with the characters
in this novel. My involvement with these people was assisted
by the way Ms. Brundage spoke to us through the alternating voices
of the different players in this drama. Using the point of view
of each of the main four characters also helped me see why some
of the bazaar activities occurred.

My main criticism would be about Ms Brundidges frequent
use of clichés. It also got a little confusing about whose
voice was being heard at times. I suggest that Ms. Brundage limit
her use of clichés and figure out a way to make the transition
between the different points of view more understandable.

Please continue to write, Ms. Brundage. The novel was fascinating,
and I look forward to reading more of your work.
